Randy Meadows - Jessie Lyrics

Jessie was a lonesome cowboy
All he knew was rope and ride
And when the trail ran near town
His friends and him would drink a round
Cause it’s a little too long to be a long time gone without her

Just a decade ago he left her
Headed for the a wild, wild west
Never once did it cross his mind
That there would ever be a time
It’s a little too long to be a long time gone without her

When the winter wind blows cold
That’s when he wishes he could hold her tight

All the gold in California
Doesn’t shine like the eyes
Of the girl he left behind
That forever haunts his mind
Cause it’s a little too long to be a long time gone without her

There’s a gathering on the hillside
To lay ole Jesse down to rest
And on the coffin was a rose
Placed by a women no one knows
It’s a little too long to be a long time gone without her
Jesse was a lonesome cowboy
